Instructions

Cook the Spaghetti Squash

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F degrees.
Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthways and remove the seeds.
Brush with the olive oil and season with the salt and black pepper.
Place cut side down on a parchment paper lined baking tray
Roast for 35-40 minutes until the skin is slightly soft and the inside is cooked through.

Prepare the Filling

While the spaghetti squash is baking in the oven prepare the filling. We assume the marinara and vegan cheese sauce is already made.
Chop the zucchini into small pieces.
In a medium pan or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a medium heat and cook the zucchini pieces for 10 minutes until cooked through.
Add the dried oregano, basil, thyme and marinara sauce, stir through and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Assemble the Baked Spaghetti Squash

Remove the cooked spaghetti squash and with a fork, fluff up the inside of the spaghetti squash. Remove and add to the pan with the marinara sauce. Stir through until mixed.
Spoon the mixture back into the spaghetti squash shells.
Pour the vegan cheese sauce over the stuffed spaghetti squash.
Return to the oven at 180C/350F degrees and bake for 10-15 minutes until the top is firm.
Serve with chopped fresh basil, parsley or chives on top.
